A stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant. The stem is normally divided into nodes and internodes, the nodes hold buds which grow into one or more leaves, inflorescence (flowers), cones or other stems etc. The internodes act as spaces that distance one node from another. The term shoots is often confused with stems; shoots generally refer to new fresh plant growth and does include stems but also to other structures like leaves or flowers. The other main structural axis of plants is the root. In most plants stems are located above the soil surface but some plants have underground stems.

There are two pipes in a plants stem. One f them is called xylem and the other one phloem. Xylem pipes bring water and nutrients up the plant and phloem brings water, nutrients and waste products both up and down the plat (both from the root to the leaves and from the leaves to the root. :)
